About

Susan Knox has made transformative contributions to clinical mass spectrometry, particularly in the measurement of vitamin D metabolites. Her landmark 2009 paper, which has garnered 93 citations, introduced a simple automated solid-phase extraction procedure for measuring 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ and D₂ by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This work directly addressed a critical challenge in clinical laboratories: the complexity and difficulty of automating vitamin D analysis. By developing a streamlined, automated method, Knox significantly improved the accessibility, reproducibility, and throughput of vitamin D testing, enabling more reliable assessment of vitamin D status in patients. Her innovation reduced manual steps and analytical variability, setting a new standard for routine clinical measurement. Beyond this seminal contribution, Knox's research has focused on advancing mass spectrometry-based methods for clinical diagnostics, with an emphasis on simplifying workflows without compromising accuracy. Her work has had a lasting impact on how clinical laboratories approach vitamin D analysis, making her a key figure in the evolution of automated LC-MS/MS applications in the clinical setting.
